The Boy Who Lived turns 45 today here’s how to celebrate Harry Potter’s 45th birthday
According to Harry Potter lore, the boy wizard was born on July 31, 1980. (The fact that author J.K. Rowling also was born on July 31 does not seem like a coincidence).

It also has a lot of free things you can print out, including bingo cards, drink labels and a “pin the scar on Harry Potter” game.
The website Spaceships and Laser Beams, which is packed with ideas for all kinds of gatherings, has Harry Potter party tips including how to put together table quidditch, a recipe for a golden snitch cake and a printable Hogwart’s acceptance letter.
And One Sweet Appetite, a recipe site, has suggestions for how to make Harry Potter cake topper, potion bottles and wands, among other things.
In addition, Wizarding World, the sprawling online home for all things Harry Potter, has a birthday mega quiz.
